RESEARCH BRIEFINGS

Our periodical publication containing 3 short articles on a theme in Muslim-Christian studies and a review of a relevant book

BRIEFINGS & ARTICLES

The Briefings are designed to make available short, interesting and accessible research articles on important themes on the Muslim-Christian interface. In addition, these publications offer readers some insight into the kind of work we do at the Centre. When possible, our Multimediasection also makes recordings of our seminars and lectures available to stream and download.

Each issue of our Research Briefings will be made available in print and online. An online copy is free to download and is in PDF format (you will need Adobe Reader to view the PDF). A hard copy is available for free at our Centre, but if you would like it posted the cost is £5 to cover production and postage.

RESEARCH BRIEFINGS

Issue 9: Living Together: The Implications of Muslims and Christians Sharing Territory

Issue 9 looks at what happens when Muslims and Christians share territory in various contexts: Ethiopia, C19th Damascus, the work place and prison.

ISSUE 8: THINKING AFTER NEWBIGIN: FAITH RESPONSES TO RELATIVISM AND PLURALISM IN A SECULAR WORLD

Our eighth edition of the CMCS Research Briefings is dedicated to the work of Bishop Lesslie Newbigin and features four papers presented at a symposium held at Regent’s Park College, Oxford, in November 2016, jointly sponsored by CMCS and the Oxford Centre for Christianity and Culture.

Issue 7: Learning Together in a Complex World

This term the CMCS Research Briefings showcases some of the ways in which the centre works and particularly highlights the research of two of our former scholarship holders as well as the monthly Qur'an & Bible reading group.

Issue 6: What is the 'Gospel' Mentioned in the Qur'an?

This term the CMCS Research Briefing takes the form of an occasional paper presented by our Academic Director, Dr Martin Whittingham, to a largely Muslim audience at a conference held in Ankara, Turkey, in May 2014 entitled Rethinking the Qur’an: Qur’anic concepts.

Issue 5: Approaches to Muslim-Christian Studies

To fully explore the field of Muslim-Christian studies a breadth of skill and knowledge is required. This edition showcases the wide range of interdisciplinary research that is taking place at the centre.

Issue 4: Muslim Christian Relations in Historical Perspective

During the 2015 spring term at CMCS our seminars focused on the history of Muslim-Christian relations and asked what relevance it has for us today. This issues covers perspectives on Muslim-Christian relations from different disciplines, contexts and eras, using the past to help illuminate and inform our future.

Issue 3: Ethics & the Law: Muslim-Christian Encounters

This edition of the CMCS Research Briefings was compiled against the tragic background of events in Paris during January 2015 as hostages, police and terrorists died in acts of extreme callousness. These events yet again highlighted the urgent need to understand the relationship between religion, law and ethics.

Issue 2: Muslim Views of the Bible: Past and Present

This edition presents three articles and a book review on the theme of 'Muslim Views of the Bible: Past and Present'. The articles contained in the Briefing are edited versions of longer papers given at a CMCS symposium on the same theme in December 2013.
